1. Re-emerge gawk?
2. Down/upgrade Firefox, might be a problem version.
3. Use firefox-bin. The few binary pkgs available in portage are there because those are known trouble pkgs for compilation.
4. Sync and update @system and @world, sometimes that fixes old/outdated issues._________________Gentoo Studio: A Gentoo-based, professional digital audio workstation OS.

First I really would not use the stable firefox because there are some bug fixes that are, i think only applied as in last available version. Maybe that some Package Maintainers here will downgrade the security fixes, but since there are no -r1, -r2 additions to the packages...

Second: Take a deeper look at your Python-Settings and your PYTHON_TARGETS. I suppose that the package that throw the error is python-related and dev-python/pip could play a role. So if you use python 3.3 for example you need this package build with the updated python_targets. By the way the stable Version is 7.1.2 and you still use 6.0.6...

luna80 ... compare the above error with those provided in the bug, I'm fairly sure these are the same issue. The fact you say it's not bindist contradicts the resolution provided in that bug ... so, please check:

Code:

# eix '-Ice#' --installed-with-use bindist

Its possible that though disabled, you have --with-bdeps=n, or emerge without --changed-use, or --newuse, and so may have it enabled on some package.

If you also look equery u openssl you'll see enabling/disabling bindist on openssl mean you must also rebuild any libs and programs that depends on it because of the ABI change. It mean just rebuilding openssl is not enough and you need revdep-rebuild work.

luna80 ... so it fails on 'import ssl', you did rebuild python:2.7 as _ssl.so is a builtin. If you did then I'm not really sure what's causing this, but something is not right with python (as other posters also have issues with ssl python). There was a recent openssl update =dev-libs/openssl-1.0.2h-r2 but it came after your first post ... is your @system up-to-date, and --with-bdeps=y?

Also, from the above you are using dev-python/pip, have you installed anything via pip?
